Jill E. Stefaniak; Tonia Dousay; Tutaleni I. Asino; Lauren M. Bagdy – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2025
In this theoretical paper, we advocate for educational researchers to embrace co-design as a means of fostering sustainable solutions in educational settings. While co-design has been increasingly recognized for its collaborative potential, we suggest that its effectiveness can be further enhanced by drawing from three complementary perspectives:…

Herman, Kristin; Clark-Stallkamp, Rebecca – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2022
Duoethnography is an emerging branch of autoethnography in which dialogic narratives help co-create meaning from lived experiences influenced by or reflected in larger social or cultural issues (Norris & Sawyer, 2012). This excerpt, from a larger duoethnography project, invites readers to join in a dialogue on the how, when, and who is…

Stefaniak, Jill; Xu, Meimei – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2020
The majority of instructional design models have directed focus on instructional design activities such as analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Criticisms regarding instructional design models have suggested that the use of these models provides instructional designers with a limited view of the design environment. This…

Gi Woong Choi; JooYoung Seo – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
In this paper, we aim to provide readers with three critical concepts that can maximize inclusivity of learner experience (LX) and user experience (UX) design: accessibility, usability, and universal design for learning (UDL). Although recent K-12 and postsecondary education have experienced rapid change in its student population with the growing…

Zhang, Jiahui; West, Richard E. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2020
This paper explores current understanding of microlearning as an effective model for professional development. From a theoretical perspective, the authors explore the rationale for microlearning by considering literature on competency-based education (CBE) and microcredentialing. Existing research specifically focused on microlearning is then…

Carr-Chellman, Davin J.; Carr-Chellman, Ali – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2020
This paper explores the role and history of systems theory and thinking in the fields of instructional/educational technology and design. The foundations of ID/ET as fields are rich in behavioral, systematic, and positivist notions of process, but we assert that it is weaker in the reflective, thoughtful, deep and meaningful orientations. Woven…

Wasson, Barbara; Kirschner, Paul A. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2020
Research on instructional and learning design is 'booming' in Europe, although there has been a move from a focus on content and the way to present it in a formal educational context (i.e., instruction), to a focus on complex learning, learning environments including the workplace, and access to learner data available in these environments. We…

Adnan, Nor Hafizah; Ritzhaupt, Albert D. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2018
The failure of many instructional design initiatives is often attributed to poor instructional design. Current instructional design models do not provide much insight into design processes for creating e-learning instructional solutions. Given the similarities between the fields of instructional design and software engineering, instructional…

Bradshaw, Amy C. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2018
A combined timeline project of major events in the field of instructional design and technology (IDT) and concurrent events in the broader social context was engaged as part of an effort to understand why social justice issues seem to be perceived as irrelevant to and disconnected from professional work in IDT. A brief review of IDT is presented,…

Weiner, Steven; Warr, Melissa; Mishra, Punya – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2020
A core element of systems thinking is perspective taking. Perspectives help people distinguish between salient and irrelevant information, take particular types of actions, and make sense of the world. In this article, we consider what systems thinking and perspective taking means for designers in education. First, we present a framework,…

Stefaniak, Jill E. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2017
Upon entry into the instructional design workforce, there is a need for instructional designers to continue to hone their craft and skill development. Often times novice instructional designers are paired with experts during the onboarding process. Coaching is utilized to provide novices and those less experienced with the necessary support they…

Mueller, Chad; Lim, Jieun; Watson, Sunnie Lee – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2017
Knowing how to effectively design attitudinal change instruction for various learning settings is essential for instructional designers. However, the research on instructional design for attitudinal change instruction has been relatively dispersed and lacks cohesion, despite its increasing importance. The purposes of this paper are to (1) reignite…
